SSD 970 EVO PLUS: Stratospheric Endurance and Performance

Samsung's 970 EVO Plus 500GB SSD gives your machine a performance and responsiveness makeover. The Samsung 970 EVO Plus in M.2 2280 format is based on the PCI-E 3.0 x4 interface and NVMe 1.3 technology and is equipped with TLC memory, a Samsung Phoenix controller and 512 MB of LPDDR4 cache memory.

The Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 PCIe 3.0 4x NVMe 1.3 in its 500 GB version takes your PC to another level of performance with speeds of up to 3.5 GB/s read and 3.2 GB/s write. The number of operations per second reaches an impressive 480,000 read IOPS and 550,000 write IOPS (4KB, QD32), enough to run your applications without latency.

Push the limits

With the 970 EVO Plus series you assemble a configuration for ultimate performance in an M.2 type 2280 drive. Thanks to firmware optimisations and Intelligent TurboWrite technology, it offers speeds of up to 3500MB/s read and 3300MB/s write, which is 53% faster depending on the model.

Take it to the next level

The 970 EVO Plus series features a PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe 1.3 interface, in-house 3-bit V-NAND and an enhanced Phoenix controller. The drive can achieve speeds of up to 3,500MB/s read and up to 3,300MB/s write without fail (depending on the model) for faster boot times and faster transfers.

Exceptional endurance

Samsung's 970 EVO Plus SSDs set a new standard in endurance with Samsung's 3-bit V-NAND memory chips. The 250GB version offers 150TB of writing capacity, while the 2TB version reaches 1200TB. These SSDs are therefore ideal for boosting your application start-up and access times and for handling large files from an editing station.

    Reliable SSD, outdated by recent models

    The Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus M.2 PCIe NVMe 500GB has stood the test of time and is still going strong after 4 years of use. It remains reliable for everyday use, even if its performance now lags behind that of more recent SSDs on the market.

    It has still offered good durability, making it a solid long-term investment.

    In short, an SSD that has aged well and still performs well, even if it has now been overtaken by new generations.

    Not found better

    Purchased for my home assistant, it will enable me to store images from my cameras. Good writing speed at a very competitive price.

    Pleasantly surprised

    I gave it this rating because my coli arrived at the time in perfect condition, and the component works very well even after careful use.

    Computer equipment

    I received the equipment very quickly and it works very well. There's nothing to say about a problem and I would recommend this site for computer equipment.

    SSD for games

    I plugged it into the M.2 port on my motherboard in addition to my SSHD, just to install games. Works like a charm!
    Be careful though: there are no screws supplied. Check to see if your motherboard has any.

    Good product

    Installation is straightforward, and the SSD is immediately recognised by the Asrock X570 Steel legend motherboard. Fast operation.

    good product

    rather a good product, bought to equip an Alder Lake N100-based mini-PC
    nothing to criticise about the product, but it heats up a bit too much for my liking, let's hope that in the future, the technology will allow an improvement on this point
